910 for a million plays. Wow. Robbery

Tho when u think about it... Rappers were gettjng what a dollar for an album per each one sold on majors right? Thats even less than 9.1 cents.

15 song album that streams a million times each aong is like 15 thou and if really popular itll be streamed many million times moee than that. Im sure albums that are new get millions up millions. I know utube got shyt touchin a billion.

Idk... Seems low but u gotta take it in conaideration vs whats the deals now.

Bout to upload my shyt and just let it stream all day. 2 min songs. 30 an hour. 24 hours a day.

Make a whole 65 cents. If only it was per stream
How's you go from $910 perilliom to $15000 per song per million?

The real,problem is that no one is making good enough music to make ppl want to stream it enough to make it worthwhile.

Outside of a bunch of pop songs, no one is getting those streams.
No at 9.1 cents literally NOONE is generating anything worthwhile from streams. At that rate an artist Drake or Beyonce probably makes more on one show than they would for a year of streams

yea but artists have ALWAYS made more money from shows/tours. That ain't a surprise.

even when a song is $1 to buy, or a CD is $15. I've felt ripped too many times by the quality of the music that I have received.
I'm actually a fan of streaming(on the fan side).

ESPECIALLY in today's music market. Music is so disposable and non memorable that it just makes sense to stream.

I won't even waste my time downloading music anymore, it just means I have to delete most of the trash anyway.

Wow!!!!!

Be an upcoming artist incur massive debts (cost of putting the music together, equipment, image, self promotion, TIME) to HOPE to blow up and get a song that streams 1MM times, when you could have made more moving boxes for 3 weeks in a factory :francis:

Apple and Spotify must be making so much goddamn money

Here they go trying to justify their theft of publishing and ad revenue.
While also creating a fukk'n monopoly damn near of the commerce of music.

We got a black president who won't even step in a protect the few things they let black people do in this country.

fukk America.

I wonder if they got the decimal correct.

Every site on the internet says that Spotify pays the least at 0.72 cents per stream, so they pay almost 10 times more than Apple will pay.

No joke a temp worker at the factory I work in could come in, no experience, just to move boxes or put shyt in boxes. Get $10/hr at 40hrs +5 OT a week and make more than that (gross) in 3 weeks.

That's a god damn shame. I never looked at it that way. *realizes I'm probably doing better financially than most of these new age artists*

Never expected that

idk why they dont just round the decimals for these things to make it less confusing

spotify has dropped to .00408 or .40 ?
Spotify Per Play Rates Continue to Drop (.00408) … More Free Users = Less Money Per Stream #gettherateright
Yea I don't get it, Apple are claiming that they are increasing payout. While Spotify's are being labelled the #1 cheap streamer for paying 40 cents per 100 streams. Which is over 4 times more than what Apple are trying to get props for.

Allegedly Apples new formula means that 100 streams = 9.1 cents = 1 iTunes purchase, seems off.
